Nottingham Organic Gardeners

We are local organic growers in Nottingham who love growing food and flowers using sustainable methods. We want to show other people how easy it is!

The garden on Whitemoor allotments is a focus for our activities and a venue for summer meetings and socials. We're demonstrating lots of different ways of growing organic food and plants, taking part in growing trials and trying different methods of organic gardening. Members and local volunteers without a garden or allotment are taking part in food growing and we welcome anyone with any experience of gardening. Allotment Workparties are every other Saturday and every other Monday, at 10am - 2pm. Regular talks are also held at a local venue and they will be posted in our events section. Our best events last year include our Potato Day in January and having guest speakers like Alys Fowler come and talk to us about the Edible Garden

We are delighted to share details of our next talk by Georgina Barney, artist and founder of Plant Dye Studio.

In 2017, Georgina planted three historic dye plants in the old playground at her studio complex, Primary, in Nottingham: woad for blue, madder for red and weld for yellow. This first dye garden has subsequently expanded to showcase a range of dye plants, as
well as medicinal and edible plants which are shared with the community. As ‘Plant Dye Studio’ Georgina shares her skills in making and using dyes, inks and paints from plants.

Georgina will introduce the principles for making plant dyes and pigments for paints and inks; give an overview of useful dye plants for a functional dye garden, and bring a showcase of her textile and fine art works made from plant colour.
Join us from 7.15pm for a warm welcome and a brew. £2 for guests and free to members

We lifted our first earlies this weekend- ‘Francis’ was the variety and we got a great yield. It’s tradition Grahame lifts the spuds, you have probably met him on potato day or talking potatoes a few weeks before at our monthly talks. We cooked them within 2 minutes of lifting and enjoyed them at our summer garden party! Lots more potato’s to come- have you lifted yours yet?

What a fabulous day on the plot! Great to see some new faces, we shared the kale and salad harvest, Kate made a fab lunch and we even took a few flowers to Shirley who’s not been able to make it down. We meet on the first Saturday of the month so next session will be on Saturday 4th July where we will be having lunch from 💚💚💚

We had a spontaneous day at the allotment, we picked chive flowers to add to our salad at lunch, shared recipes to make chive vinegar, did lots of watering, admire the flowers shared some lovely lunch together and cleared the bed ready for new plants to go in! Hope you’ve all been enjoying the bank holiday weekend and you’ve enjoyed spending time in the garden 🪴

🌱 Plant Swap this week, come and join us! 🌱

Our much-loved Spring Plant (and seed) Swap is back 💚

📅 Wednesday 13 May 2026
⏰ 7:15 PM for a 7:30 PM start (normally lasts 1 hour or until the plants are all swapped so don't be late!)
📍 United Reformed Church, Sherwood, Nottingham

🌸 FREE ENTRY

Bring along your spare seedlings, houseplants, veg plugs or seeds and swap them for something new 🌼

👉 Please label your plants if you can (marker pen on pots, wooden labels, even cut-up milk cartons all work!) even paper labels or write on the pots!

🌻 No plants to swap? No problem – donations are welcome and everyone is invited to join in.

Our swaps can get busy, so try to arrive for 7:15 to place your plants into ‘zones’ (flowers, veg, houseplants, etc). Then we ring the bell and everyone swaps at the same time 🔔
Latecomers… it’s pot luck what’s left!

It’s a brilliant way to share plants, meet local growers and kick off the growing season 🌿
With just under a month to go, why not sow a few extra seedlings to bring along?

👇 Tag your garden pals and let them know!
